Valentino’s Haute Couture AW 2018 Collection

Pierpaolo Piccioli’s 2018 Couture Collection for Valentino is a dreamy and vibrant fantasy in colour.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream has a vibrant technicolor revolution in this super Romantic collection where exaggerated colour and form dominate.

The playful Roccoco dramatics combine with modern and daring lines.

In keeping with Valentino’s graceful and elegant house style, the collection features bold floor sweeping gowns and skirts but bunches of silks, satins and taffetas give them a refreshing and daring quality.

It is a brave collection, not particularly subdued but underpinned by classic design and traditional cuts with a twist.

Bright blues, fuchsia, greens and tangerine dominate a collection that inspires itself from the boldest features of the styles from Greek Mythology, the Middle Ages and the Romantic era.

This stunning collection compels us to dream, take flight in these extraordinary pieces that keep couture fashion alive.
